"Hmmm! The homework was well done. Liu Lao listened to Wu Chen's eloquent conversation, nodded, and praised him. Play antiques, what you want is this down-to-earth energy, but all the objects that are a little famous, there will always be some stories, so it has become an indispensable part to study its origin, in a sense, the real antiques, when it comes to historical knowledge, is not worse than those historians, but the direction of everyone's research is different.

What does it mean to do your homework! When Wu Chen heard this, why was it so untasteful. Of course, he didn't think that this bead was the one in Cixi's mouth, Sun Thief said it clearly, it had already belonged to Song Xiaomei, and the times were not right, this was obtained from the box of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no Cixi at that time. The reason why this one is mentioned is that this one is the most detailed and most studied object in the record, and from the perspective of physical phenomena, it is still quite similar, which can be used as a piece of evidence.

However, Liu Lao did not agree with Wu Chen's opinion, this bead and Cixi's night pearl, except for the light of light, there is no other commonality.

"Historically, there are many legends of the Night Pearl, and its material is a mystery, and fluorescent stone is said, there is a diamond said, but I have never heard of a black one!"

Hit the nail on the head, Wu Chen asked Liu Lao to do this, and quickly searched in his mind, no matter what kind of legend, there are green, beige, white and other versions, but he has really never heard of a black night pearl, and this material has nothing to do with the so-called ore.

Fluorescent stone said, that is completely unreliable, this kind of cheap ore, can be seen everywhere, in addition to the appearance does not conform to the description characteristics of the night pearl in history, even if it is luminous, it is only a thin layer of fluorescence on the surface of the object, which can not reach this level at all.

The diamond is more reliable, and the current research on the night pearl of Cixi is still more biased towards its being made by the Mughal dynasty in India? The rough "Mughal Emperor Diamond", named by King Jahan, has been lost for nearly 350 years. It was the Afghan king Ahmed Shah Abdali who made eight expeditions to India to seize the treasure, and then sent a mission to the Qing court around 1760 to pay tribute to the Qianlong Emperor, and then the treasure has been passed on to the Empress Dowager Cixi.

At that time, this research had caused a sensation in the world, because in the past 300 years, diamond scholars from all over the world have been believing that the "Mughal Emperor diamond" was cut into four parts, namely the "Mountain of Light" inlaid in the crown of Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom, the "Sea of Light" inlaid in the crown of the Iranian king Pahlavi, the "Orlov" inlaid in the power of Queen Catherine of Russia, and the "Mountain of the Moon" once collected by the Russian Tsarist royal family.

This result in itself once again confirms that the mineral noctilucent has nothing to do with phosphorescent and that the nocturnal pearl belongs to the rough diamond with large grains. This is also an authoritative statement that is now recognized in the academic community.

However, the night pearl in front of them nakedly illustrates that at least not all night pearls are rough diamonds.

What the hell is it?

Liu Lao couldn't answer it for a while, and in the end he had no choice but to stay first and study it later.

Wu Chen listened to Liu Lao's words, and smiled bitterly, for fear that he would be studied into the Forbidden City Museum again, if it was something else, forget it, the problem is that this one was a gift from him to Huang Xiaolin, which was just given out yesterday, and it will be studied today, so it can't be said!

"Master, research is research, let's not make a noise, this is my gift to your apprentice." There is no way, Wu Chen said honestly, it is better to make it clear in advance, otherwise with the consciousness of the master's generation, he will really dare to donate.

You must know that "donation" is not selling, the "bonus" given is very different from the market price, just the last time the Tiansheng bronze man, the last 20 million, it is estimated that Liu Lao paid out of his own pocket and made contributions to the country. And this bead, although it is not clear what exactly it is, there is a reference, that is, the night pearl buried in the mouth of Cixi Lafayette, which is estimated to be equivalent to about 8 now. 100 million RMB present value!

"Alright, stinky boy!"

Liu Lao smiled, he also understood that Wu Chen was afraid that it would spread out and cause an uproar, but in his opinion, there was no need to worry at all, except for a few reliable old buddies, he would not look for anyone else, and it would be in vain to find it. And with his status, if he didn't take the initiative to "donate" it, no one would dare to grab it.

However, this one thing gave Wu Chen a new understanding, he really learned endlessly, he thought he was very good, but he didn't expect to pop up some objects that he couldn't figure out from time to time.

This toss consumes a lot of brains, Wu Chen thought about letting the master rest for a while before speaking, but he didn't expect that after Liu Lao accepted the beads, he waved his hand and let Wu Chen have any treasures, just take them out. Wu Chen had given him too many surprises, and he didn't know what to say to this disciple of his now.

"Hehe, you still know me, Master." Wu Chen smiled and buttoned a big hat first, and then took out the portrait from his bag.

"The Female Historian?" Liu Lao was comfortably slapped by Wu Chen's sycophant, smiled and took a sip of the teacup, and when Wu Chen spread out the so-called "old painting", he almost squirted out a mouthful of tea! It's not a surprise, but I'm a little frightened, and I'm embarrassed to take out this picture?

He rushed out, it was because of the scene on the picture, at a glance, he knew that after playing calligraphy and painting all his life, whether he had seen the real thing or not, the content of these famous paintings was already deeply engraved in his mind, and he didn't need to think about it.

"What an expression!" Wu Chen was very dissatisfied with Liu Lao's reaction, are you so a master, even if the junior really got such a broken painting that can't be put on stage, you can also give encouragement.

"The Female History of the Portrait" long scroll, Gu Kaizhi's work, now the Tang Dynasty silk book is stored in the British Museum, originally a Qing palace collection of paintings, in the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace was robbed to the United Kingdom. In addition, the Song Dynasty paper book is stored in the Palace Museum in Beijing, and it is said to be the imperial pen of Huizong, but it is far less than the Tang Dynasty silk book. ”

I don't know if it evokes Liu Lao's memories of those shameful years, and there is some misery and resentment in his words, in a sense, the destruction and looting of the ancestors' cultural relics by the Eight-Nation Alliance is the common shame of the entire Chinese nation, and this shame continues to this day, and it is still alive in the major "empires".
